1. GETTING STARTED 1.1 Regulations and Safety Warnings ATTENTION! To help you ward off bodily injury or property loss that may arise from improper operation, please read all the information carefully before using our products. This contains instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for compliance with applicable standards and regulation. FCC Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met. Operating Instructions: • Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), press the Push-to-Talk (PTT) key. To receive calls, release the [PTT] key. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because the radio generates measurable RF energy only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance). • Keep the radio unit at least 2.5cm away from the face.
technically qualified to perform transmitter maintenance and repairs in the private land mobile and fixed services as certified by an organization representative of the user of those services. Replacement of any transmitter component (crystal, semiconductor, etc) not authorized by the IC/FCC equipment authorization for this radio could violate IC/ FCC rules. Note: Use of this radio outside the country where it was intended to be distributed is subject to government regulations and may be prohibited.
• Do not attempt to open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty. • Do not store the Radio under the sunshine or in hot areas. • High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or melt certain plastics.
The Li-ion battery pack is not charged at the factory; please charge it before use. Charging the battery pack for the first time after purchase or extended storage (more than 2 months) may not bring the battery pack to its normal maximum operating capacity. Best operation will require fully charging/ discharging the battery two or three times before the operating capacity will reach its best performance.
status if the radio is powered on. Only when the radio is switched off will the lamp indicate normal operation. The radio consumes energy when it is power-on, and the charger cannot detect the correct battery voltage when the battery has been fully charged. So the charger will charge the battery in constant voltage mode and fail to indicate correctly when the battery has been fully charged. 2.
